I’m a software engineer at Google. In 2009, I received the Google Ph.D. Fellowship
in Computer Networking. I spent most of the following year working on infrastructure systems at Google, and I joined full time in 2011.

Prior to Google, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Washington,
where I was advised by Tom Anderson and Arvind Krishnamurthy.
My thesis work focused on how to build Internet-scale services without relying on expensive, trusted infrastructure.
I enjoy building and improving real, actively used systems.
